In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to MGermain and his brand new album titled DIY.
Long Beach-based rapper and producer MGermain is back with a groundbreaking studio album, DIY, a 12-track masterpiece that reflects his journey of resilience, self-discovery, and ambition. Hailing originally from Austria, MGermain embodies the spirit of an independent artist, crafting every aspect of his music with precision and passion.
DIY is more than just an album—it’s a statement. Entirely written and produced by MGermain, the album offers an authentic glimpse into the highs and lows of pursuing one’s dreams. From overcoming setbacks to navigating life’s unpredictability, MGermain takes listeners on a deeply personal yet universally relatable journey. The project features introspective lyricism and organic beats, blending elements of rap, soul, and a touch of his Austrian roots with two tracks performed in German.
Tracks like “Pressure” and “Here We Go Again” showcase MGermain’s ability to tap into raw emotions, while songs such as “Hear The Rhythm” and “Watch The Magic Happen” highlight his mastery in creating uplifting and energetic vibes. Each track feels like a chapter in a story, pieced together to inspire listeners to keep pushing forward.
“Lock In,” the album opener, sets the tone for what is to come: a declaration of focus and determination. Midway through, “Reminds Me Of A Story” captivates with vivid storytelling, and “Wouldn’t Even Listen” delves into the struggles of being misunderstood while staying true to oneself. The final two tracks, “Mehr Als Rap” and “Gehe Meinen Weg,” beautifully close the album, embracing MGermain’s roots and showcasing his versatility.
MGermain’s creative journey is as inspiring as the music itself. After moving to Los Angeles in 2007 in pursuit of the American Dream, he released his first mixtape American Dream under the name MGK. After a hiatus spent working in the gaming industry, the pandemic reignited his passion for music, leading to the creation of DIY. This album stands as a testament to his unwavering dedication and talent.
Whether you’re chasing your own dreams or simply looking for a soundtrack to motivate and uplift, DIY delivers on all fronts. With its fusion of powerful lyrics, diverse soundscapes, and universal themes, MGermain’s latest offering is a must-listen.
